Hypertension, the third single release by The Burning Curtains dropped worldwide at 00:01 GMT July 10 2019.

Announcing the first track to be released from the Phoenix Sessions will be Sometimes. A song we consider to be probably our most commercial to date. The track is currently with our most excellent engineer and mixer J.A. Sage, and he’s set to start the final mix next week.
